Eadweard

Just saw this at our local theatre in Stratford, ON with both Kyle Rideout and Josh Epstein on hand to deliver the print all the way from Vancouver! Wonderful little film that has all of the right elements working for it, script, acting, directing, music and especially cinematography! AND they made it for $150,000. 100X better then most things in theatres today. A real (reel?) gem for anyone who loves film and film history. As I write this there are bigger names trying to get other Muybridge projects off the ground (Cumberbatch, Oldman etc.) but I guarantee they won't have the passion that this has. Sure it has a fairly unknown cast but so did Citizen Kane and Star Wars.

Kyle Rideout deserves applause. Not many directors can con investors & distributors out of millions of dollars based on a script with zero sympathetic characters and absolutely no character development. Anybody who can't generate audience interest with a naked Jodi Balfour, Sara Canning & Vanessa Walsh should be banished from narrative storytelling. This film plays like a music video of "Taps." He should be paying you to watch this travesty.

What a film awesome story of a man, who created the moving picture, and who brought us movies and tv shows. Michael Eklund nailed the british accent awesomd actor

I know this movie has been out for a few years, but if you still haven't seen it yet, DO IT. Michael Eklund portrays Eadweard in an amazing way, even though we didn't know much about Eadweard himself, mostly his work. So here he got a chance to improvise a bit on how to portray Mr. Muybridge.

The movie is also very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The close-ups, the lighting. You appreciate every little detail in it. Every time I've watched this movie, I have catched myself pausing the video and just looking at the screen. It's a beautifully made film.

Sara Canning, who played his wife, was also an amazing choice. These two have a beautiful and great chemistry between eachother, and it shows on camera.

True ish story of photographer eadweard muybridge, born in england, 1830, according to wikipedia dot com. In 1850, he came to the united states. This film starts in 1867. Muybridge is already an established photographer, but yearns for improvements and how to capture motion; so he goes about photographing things moving. And doing everyday things. And nudes. Men and women. Pretty unorthodox at the time. By showing the images in succession, he has invented the movie projector, where we see still images move! And this, just a couple years before he shoots and kills someone. Interesting life. I had never heard of this guy before. Directed by kyle rideout. Already an accomplished actor, he began directing in 2010. The film has male and female nudity. And we do see the murder. Currently showing on kanopy channel. Interesting.
